Abstract:
Burn injuries remain a leading cause of unintentional injuries in children. Improvements in burn care technology, comprehensive outpatient services, and a team approach to care can reduce hospital stays and ease recovery for patients and families. Burn awareness and fire prevention education to the community and to health care providers may further decrease the incidence of pediatric burn injuries. Primary care providers can have a great impact on reducing the opportunity for a burn injury in a child by sharing what is known about burn incidence and prevention with the children and families they serve.
